With this logic, the point of homework is to test the teacher's ability to grade it. And the students can be automated to help make testing the teacher's grading more efficient. Uh, I disagree with that take I guess.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes β€œI love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

I hadn't seen the Kiss And Cry angle of when Ami Nakai's scores came in as NBC had cameras on Alysa.

Its so goddamn cute it takes the kiddo a beat or three to realize her score and then check with Alysa that she did win Bronze before Alysa comes over jumping to celebrate with her.

Big additional point: The majority doesn't say *anything* about what happens next with respect to possible refunds (a point Kavanaugh emphasizes at the end of his 63(!)-page dissent). Presumably, that question will go back to the Court of International Trade to try to sort out in the first instance.

The actual amount collected under IEEPA is somewhat unknown but it's likely well over $100bn. And claims are transferrable, so a small importer can sell them at a discount (say, 80 cents on the dollar) to another entity that would bundle and sue over a whole bunch of smaller claims.

Just saw that Xing Zhilei, the Chinese DIY influencer, posted an update on his self-built cat town which went viral last year.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.

Their internal memo: β€œWe will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

This is incredible. Like the previous few years, near all of the electricity capacity added to the grid was clean energy. The Inflation Reduction Act helped this - it made solar & wind cheaper but it also for the first time had a standalone incentive for grid storage. Look at the growth in storage!

My favorite dynamic in hit-driven industries is that executives manage to hold these two contradictory things at once:

1. It's almost impossible to make a hit. It's so hard and we can't identify what is going to be a hit.

2. People will watch/play anything, they don't really care what it is.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I enjoyed Disneyland Handcrafted so much that I watched it twice. I had no idea that the park was built in one year and just how much of it would resonate with me. And what a testament to the folks who built it all! youtu.be/YtrVcOxVDls?...
